• Go to Start|Programs|Sophos Anti-Virus and run the 'Sophos Anti-Virus' program. • Click the 'Immediate' tab. • Go to Options|Configuration... select the 'Action' tab, tick 'Disinfect boot sectors' and 'Request confirmation'. Click 'OK'. • Double-click the 'A:' icon to scan the floppy disk drive. • Click 'OK' when asked if the disk should be disinfected. • Scan the floppy disk again to confirm that disinfection succeeded. If disinfection failed use Windows Explorer to copy the files to another disk. Reformat the floppy disk.  more
